Gas tank has two holes, one gets a tube with filter. Primer bulb has

On most, the primer pressurizes the tank. That's why the tubes are such
a tight fit in their holes.

That has not been my experience. The Echo and Stihl saws trimmers I
have pump the gas. I figure the tubes are tight in the holes in the
tank to prevent leaks.

Let me go look.

Ok, on the Echo trimmer I opened the gas cap to vent the tank and it
still pumps gas. The pump is built into the side of the carb on botht
he Echo and the Stihl an all connections are to the carb body.

There are really only 4 ways to connect the thing and I doubt that
connecting it wrong will damage anything. Try the following:
Connect one side of the primer bulb to the tube to the tank with the
filter. If it pumps gas that's good, if not try the other side of the
primer bulb. If that side pumps gas that's good (if not then LLoyd is
right and I'm wrong). So now the primer's pumping gas, just try both
sides of the carb and see which one runs.
